To all'tbhom it"mdy concern:

Be it known that I, EMILE- KLEIBER, of

New Orleans; in" the parishot Orleans and have invented a new and Stateof Louisiana, usefulImprovement'in Bottle-Fillers, of which thefollo'wing'is a specification.

Figure -1 is a provemen't. Fig. 2,-a-is a side elevation, partly insection, taken through the line 1. Fig. 3 is vaigsectiona'l elevation ofone of thecooks enlarged. Figs. 4and 5 represent Similar letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts. f

The. object of this invention is to furnish machines for filling bottleswith viscid oils and otherfluids and liquids,-soconstructed that thefluidwill be forced outjby air-prcssbe opened by the rise of the bottlestobe filled.

nre-andthe cocks will The invention consists in constructing abottl-e-fillerof a tank having pressure-gage and discharge-pipe, theair-pump having its,

discharge-pipe .lconnected .with the pressuretank, the distribu ting-chauib'er, the discharge ,eocks having nozzles and .flanges, themova-. bottles, the treadle,

ble shelf to receive the and the-curved and slotted arms to open thedischarge-cocks, as will be hereinafterfully described.

A represents the tank to receive the oil or,

otherfluid,and which ismonnted uponaframe,

B, of convenient height: The tank A is pro-f To thelower part of theframeB is attached 4 an air-pump, E, to the piston-rod of which is Qpivoted the lower end .of a connecting-rod, F.

' pressure.

The upper end of. the connecting-rod F is pivoted to a'crank, G,attached to the journal of the hand wheel or crank H, which ispivoted'to thenpper'part'ot' the frame B. -The discharge-pipe I of theair-pump E passes up through the bottom 'ot the'tank'A and ternii-'nates near the topv of the said tank, so as to discharge the air abovethe liquid that may be in the said tank and put thesaid liquid under Tothe bottom of the tank A is secured the end of about pipe, =J,- which isprovided with front elevation of the nila; w m, Fig;

The

havetlanges P formed the upper .ends of the valves to prevent the .uponthem to rest upon parts N and serve as liquid from escaping. per partsof the tubes of apertures to allow when-the said tnbesj'are raised. Thetubes. 0 are held down byispi'ralj springs Q,'"the' lower ends jot whichrest upon the closed upper ends of'the sa'id tubes 0, andtheir upperends rest against perforated plates or spiders R,

I The bottles, while being filled, restupon a shelf, V, to which are attached guide-rods W, which pass throughguideholes in the frame B, or in brackets attached to the said frame.

.To the center of the shelfV is hinged the upper endofa jointed rod,Xythe lower end of which is hinged to a treadle, Y. The treadle Y ishinged to the lower part of the frame B in such a. position that it maybe readily reached and operated by the attendant with his'feet'. 3

To the t'oward part of the frameB, a little below the new, is placed astationary shelf, Z, to receive the bottles before they have been part,M, of each barrel is The upper ends'of the In the sides ofthe up.

have been filled and removed from the said shelf V.

In using, the machine the air-pump E is worked to put the liquid in thetank A under the desired pressure, the valve K is opened, and a set ofbottles to be filled is placed'upon the shelf V directly beneath thenozzles S of the cooks. The treadle Y is then operated to raise theshelf V, bringing the bottles to be filled over the nozzles S, until theupper ends of the bottles strike the flanges T and raise the valve-tubes0, allowing the liquid to flow into the bottles, filling them equally.When the bottles are filled the foot-pressure upon the treadle Y isWlth(hflWl1,iLIld the springs Q force the valve-tubes 0 down and stopthe outflow of the liquid'instantly. The filled bottles are then removedarid replaced with empty ones, and the operation is repeated until theair-pressure in the tank'A becomes 'so much reduced as to no longercause a free outflow of the liquid. The air-pump E is then operated toforce-another supply of air into the tank A, when the operation offilling the bottles is continued. In this way the bottles ,can be filledvery rapidly.

If desired, curved arms a maybebolted adjustably to downwardly-projectinglugs formed upon or attached to the inner part ofthe-shelf V. The upper parts of-the arms a are bent outward, as shown inFigs. 2 and 4, and their ends are slotted or forked, as shown in Fig. 5,to receive the nozzles S. The arms a are made of such a length thattheir upper ends will be a little above the upper ends of the bottles,as shown in Fig. 4, so as to ,strike against the flanges T and raise thevalve-tubes O to allow the liquid to how into the bottles. Thisconstruction Iprefer, as it allows the air in the bottles to escapefreely as the liquid flows into the said bottles. I Having thusdescribed my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letterslatent- 1. as herein shown and described, consisting of the tank A,having pressuregage D and dis charge-pipe J, the air-pumplfil G H,having A bottle-filler constructed substantially,

discharge-pipe 1, leading into the upper part of the tank A, thedistributing-chamber I1, the discharge-cocks M N O Q, having nozzles Sand flanges T, the movable shelf V, having guides W, the treadle X Y,and the curved and slotted arms a, asset forth. I

In a bottle-tiller, the combination, with thedistributing-chamber L, of the cock-bartubes 0, having valve-flanges Pupon their closed. upper ends, substantially as herein shown anddescribed, whereby the liquid will be allowed to flow out when the tubesare raised, as set forth,

f 5. In a bottle-filler, the combination, with the movable shelf V, thatcarries the bottles,

and with the flanges '1, attached to the nozzles S of thedischarge-cocks, oflthe curved and slotted arms a, substantially asherein shown and'described, whereby the dischargecocks will be opened bythe rise of the shelf, as set forth;

6. In a bottle-filler, the combination, with the discharge-cocks MN 0Q,of the valves U,
